Human Centric AI Development
Houston Editor pioneers human-centric AI, giving professional developers the tools to write production-grade code without needing to toss the keys to an agentic workflow. You remain in the driver's seat, wielding a precision instrument designed for architects who demand granular control over every line of code generated.
Precision Scoping
You define the granular scope of each request. Lock AI edits to specific files to prevent unexpected regressions in unrelated modules.
Technical Specs
Drive implementation with technically worded tickets. You provide the architecture; Houston handles the integration.
Pattern Enforcement
Inject architectural rules, patterns, and example anti-patterns before generation starts. Produce production-grade code that passes code review on the first try.
An Agile Board in the IDE
Spend time architecting your code and planning a sprint, then let Houston work through the implementing the tickets. Tickets get sequentially processed, first analyzing then implementing each task per your technical specs and feature requirements. Houston notifies you each time a ticket is completed, then automatically moves onto the next task.

Beyond Conversing
From Chatting to Shipping.
Houston isn't just a chatbot. It's a project manager that writes code. Seamlessly promote conversation into actionable Agile tickets without leaving the IDE.
New
Chat-to-Ticket Pipeline
Houston automatically suggests agile tickets to complete your tasks, or you can right-click any message (such as a technical spec) to instantly generate a scoped Agile ticket. The AI pre-fills the summary, assigns the main file context, and places it in your Backlog.

The Work Queue
A dedicated Kanban lane for active AI tasks. Queue up multiple tickets and let Houston process them sequentially in the background.
Real-time Sync
Tickets sync instantly between your local environment and the cloud, enabling new ways of remote collaborating and development.
Live Compilers [beta]
Configure compilers to build, test, and check newly integrated code in real-time, automatically resolving errors.
Local Semantic Index
Smart indexing for files relevant to your current development tasks and context.
Batch Operations [beta]
Advanced file tagging system for batch generation of tickets and refactors.
AI Model Agnostic
Houston leverages a unique combination of Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI's latest models to produce production-grade code.
Scoped Precision
Scoped file edits allow for precision control of what code can be edited.
Cross-Platform
Run full-stack and cross-platform tasks in a single request.
Unapologetically Native.
Built with SwiftUI and optimized to run on MacOS. Zero Electron bloat.
Native
macOS UI
Fluid animations and native window management that feels at home on your Mac.
Local RAG
Vector Index
Houston builds a local semantic vector index for instant, private RAG context retrieval. You write tickets, and Houston surfaces the most relevant files.
Async
Optimized Processing
Async processing of tickets works through sprints so you can focus on what to buikd next.
